Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday stressed the growing convergence between Beijing and the European Union on global issues from climate change to trade, urging the two sides to overcome their "suspicions".

At a meeting in Paris between Xi, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and European Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker, the leaders declared their desire to work together.

"Of course there are differences and competition, but it's positive competition," Xi told a joint press conference. "We are advancing together. We shouldn't let suspicions lead us to be constantly looking backwards."
